why are american leftists so obsessed with america?
Removed by modAll the time I hear about "the CIA will coup this", "America supported that", "These people opposed US Imperialism". A topic could have absolutely nothing to do with america and involve a place on the exact opposite part of the earth and Americans will find a way to make it about America. For example, people talk about Russian politics and Putin yet seem to support Putin wholeheartedly because his Russia "opposes american imperialism". This framing of the conversation seemingly ignoring how Russian people feel about his reign, how the EU has been having to drag america into the latest sanctions against Russia, and how for the last 4 years America had an ostensibly Pro-Russian president. I swear American Leftists don't care at all about Capitalism or Communism and just want to oppose the United States. Most of the world and people don't care about American influence, let alone to such an obsessive degree.
I said government though not corporations

I mean countries like Germany pressure countries like Greece to deregulate and take on austerity or china has countries give up ports for 99 years or other things like that. seems pretty separable from the corporations of those countries having their business supported or opposed by local government or funding local government to be more pro that business

you're the one who sounds naive if you think china stands to gain nothing from having a port leased to them for 99 years. if it makes no difference china wouldn't ask for it as a term in a loan
